Instructions
 

  • Add the softened cream cheese to a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl and (using the whisk attachment), whip with an electric mixer until smooth (about 2-3 minutes).
  • Add the heavy cream and whip until smooth, pausing to scrape the sides of the bowl if necessary.
  • Add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and vanilla extract. Using the whisk attachment or electric hand mixer, whip the mixture until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  • Line the bottom and edges of a metal loaf pan with plastic wrap. Cover the bottom of a metal loaf pan with an even layer of cookies (break them if necessary).
  • Add about half of the mocha filling and spread it evenly over the cookies. Add another layer of cookies, then top with the remaining mocha filling, smoothing the top.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours (or freeze for 4 hours).
  • When ready to serve, remove from the fridge and carefully invert the cake on a serving platter. Remove the plastic wrap, sllice and serve!

Notes

  • Traditionally ice box cakes are served from the fridge, but I actually like it frozen more! It’s also easier to slice when frozen!
  • You can use gluten-free graham crackers instead of cookies if desired!
